northeastwards

/ˌnɔɹˈθistwəɹdz/ adv

northeastward

Word Origin Northeastwards combines north, east, and the directional -wards. East comes from Old English ēast 'dawn,' from PIE *h₂ews- 'to shine, dawn,' which also gives us Easter (the dawn festival) and aurora. So northeastwards is literally 'turning toward the dawn-north.'
